MediaNotes general help

Activating MediaNotes (software registration)

To access all of the features of MediaNotes, you will need to acquire and enter a registration code. Without this code, you will be able to view MediaNotes projects, but not make your own annotations.

If you do not have a MediaNotes activation code, you can acquire one now.

If you have already received a registration code but have misplaced it, you can have your code sent to you at your CALI-registered email address.

You may use the same registration code on up to two computers (e.g. one laptop and one desktop). After registering the software on two computers, you will need to acquire a new registration code for additional computers. You may not share your registration code with another person.

Recording video

MediaNotes enables annotation of digital video, but doesn't itself enable the recording of those videos. For that you will need a digital camera and microphone of some kind (a simple webcam usually suffices). For some general tips on setting up a low-cost recording solution, see [ this page ].
